HOW TO MAKE A TUNA MELT



How to Make a Tuna Melt image

This is dedicated to all those chefs who tell you to never, ever mix fish and cheese together; and yet there they are, at the diner at 2:00 in the morning. And you know what they eat? Tuna melts. And the reason they do is because it is delicious.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tuna

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (6.5 ounce) jar oil-packed tuna, drained
1 tablespoon minced green onion
2 tablespoons finely diced celery
2 teaspoons capers, drained
1 teaspoon Asian chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or more to taste
⅓ cup fresh mozzarella cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons softened butter, divided
2 thick slices French bread
¼ cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese, divided
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break apart with a fork. Add green onion, celery, capers, chile paste, and mayonnaise. Pinch small pieces from mozzarella cheese into the tuna salad and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
  • Heat oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
  • Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.
  • Gently spread tuna salad onto bread slices using 2 forks. Press the salad onto the bread and spread tuna all the way to the edges of the bread. Spread shredded sharp Cheddar over each sandwich. Dust tops with cayenne pepper.
  • Place sandwiches under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.

TUNA MELT SLIDERS



Tuna Melt Sliders image

Served on English muffins, we call these Tuna Sliders because they slide right down. I put "melt" in the title so others could find the recipe. I got this recipe from my mother. Serve with a green salad for a balanced meal. For a real treat, I recommend using #63244 English Muffins (Bread Machine Method) instead of store bought. If you are cooking for just 1 or 2 people, the tuna mixture will keep nicely in the refrigerator for a few days.

Tips for Making the Best Tuna Melt Sliders:

  • Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for a variety packed in olive oil or water and avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil or brine.
  • Mayo and cream cheese filling: For a creamy and flavorful filling, use a combination of mayonnaise and cream cheese. Adjust the proportions to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Fresh vegetables: Use fresh and crisp vegetables like celery, onion, and bell peppers to add texture and flavor to the tuna salad.
  • Seasoning: Don't skimp on the seasoning! Add a blend of herbs and spices, such as dill, celery salt, and pepper, to enhance the taste of the tuna salad.
  • Choose the right bread: Slider buns or small dinner rolls work well for tuna melt sliders. Look for soft and fluffy bread that can hold the filling without getting soggy.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread adds a nice crunch and helps prevent it from becoming soggy. You can toast the bread in a toaster oven, on a griddle, or in a pan with a little bit of butter.
  • Cheese selection: Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère. You can also use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  • Broil until golden brown: Broiling the sliders at the end helps melt the cheese and give the tops a nice golden brown color. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Conclusion:

Tuna melt sliders are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a party appetizer. By following these tips, you can create tuna melt sliders that are packed with flavor and sure to impress your taste buds. Experiment with different variations, such as adding different vegetables, cheeses, or herbs, to find your perfect combination.
